Public Baths and beds

Though I am still illiterate here, I am beginning to recognize symbols. One of which is the symbol for public baths. They seem to be everywhere. I haven’t been yet, and don’t think that I want to go. You pay a couple of dollars and can stay as long as you want. There are showers, a cafeteria, gym, and different baths. The thing that seems to excite the Koreans most is the fact that there is hot water and you can sleep there. But as Jared put it, you are allowed to sleep there, but can’t. The sleeping room is filled with people coming and going. And the designated place to sleep is the floor. This is all a great experience for the Koreans. The place that I am going to for the night is a three story house with two beds. The department rented it for the night to “initiate” the students into the program. So, 40 people : two beds. I, the spoiled American, guaranteed myself a bed before agreeing to go.I don’t know what my point is here. Just be thankful for your hot water and soft beds.
